Children's Books discussion

Anyone have suggestions for picture books to explain the structure of a day to a preschooler? My kid seems to be having a hard time understanding that when he wakes up from nap, it's not a new day. Also seems to be trying to figure out yesterday, today, tomorrow.

Good question!
I did just happen to read Good Day, Good Night which has some of that. There might be more in the lists in the Listopia feature; I'll take a look when I get a chance. I know there are lots but I can't think of any others offhand.

(btw, kudos for giving him naps, I remember when they were more common and it seemed to me kids and families were healthier for using them)

I couldn't resist taking a quick peek....

I like this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1.... But a lot of the books are about alternate routines (families in another part of the world, the fact that nocturnal animals have a 'morning' at dusk, etc.) so choose carefully. There's also a similar list for Night.

I was reminded of the wonderful Sunshine by Jan Ormerod... there's a companion book about night by her too.

Thanks for the great suggestions Cheryl. Sunshine looks adorable!
